The Resistance Is Not Coming to Save You. It’s Tuning Out.
The Resistance Is Not Coming to Save You. It’s Tuning Out.
Summary
Following Trump’s 2024 election victory, the fervor of anti-Trump media and resistance movements has sharply declined.
Outlets like Drudge Report and MSNBC have seen significant viewership drops, while platforms like X (formerly Twitter) face progressive disengagement as figures like Nicolle Wallace and The Guardian pull back.
The “Resistance 2.0” appears muted compared to 2016, with fewer protests, diminished media energy, and a waning appetite for anti-Trump political books.
Critics worry this apathy could weaken opposition to Trump’s more radical second-term agenda, leaving backlash dependent on his upcoming actions.

Sorry, who's looking to corporate media for "the resistance" ? Seems like a terribly stupid metric to judge this.
The Rs...it was interesting, when Trump was declared guilty I watched Fox and Newsmax to see if they had actually reported on it.
They WERE calling for a rebellion. They mentioned the 2nd amendment a couple of times, and the rhetoric was generally violence.
The message conservatives get is very different than what the rest of the world gets.
Yeaah, but they have a similar response whenever they learn a unisex bathroom opened in an airport. It's entirely unsurprising people lacking two braincells to rub together would look to billionaires to call for an "uprising".
Exactly. I think most of us have identified that the fucking corporate media can't be trusted to be reliable. This is partially their fault for sane-washing Trump over and over again.
That said, there is resistance. Please check out the subreddit /r/SomethingIsWrong2024.
Is there a reddit-free option?
